And he did because Prince and his "fancy lesbian"  ass came through the door, that was opened in the '80's, which without a doubt, was founded on the advent of MTV and "music videos"! The originator being, Michael Jackson!
Now if we take into account, the originator's of Michael Jackson! Then there is no doubt, to me, that HIS originators, were the ORIGINAL originators! Including...James Brown, Frank Sinatra, Danny Kaye, Sammy Davis, Fred Astaire. Gene Kelly, Elvis. Chuck Berry and yes...Little Richard!
"Yeah but I AM the originator, I'm just glad Mike gave me my royalties...WOO!  " surviving on the thought of loving you, it's just like the water
I ain't felt this way in years... | |

Speaking as someone who has loved BOTH Michael Jackson and Prince, respectively, in unmeasurable ways...Michael was right! HE is the one that kicked the doors open, that allowed Prince to come through! IMHO, there would have been no Prince had there not been, a Michael Jackson! On that same note, there would have STILL been...a Michael Jackson, had there not been...a Prince! Do with that, what you will...but it is... what it is!  Right now Little Richard is looking at this post and is telling me to tell you God will not forgive you for getting all the credit to "that Jheri Curl mama's boy, wooo! God rest his soul but he stole my makeup AND my hairdo and my voice. Least he gave me some royalties or I'd sure been calling him for blasphemy! SHUT UP! WOO!"

MJ may have worn pancake makeup like him, and inadvertently transformed his "woo" ( ) into "woo-hoo," but Prince literally emulated/became Little Richard (specifically from 1983-1986). And yet, I have never heard or read of Prince ever acknowledging him, except with that bucket of chicken joke.  "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash.

Not mad at 'cha. While Richard's influence on P was obvious as he also influenced Sir Paul (which initially was the reason why John Lennon took him in his band in the first place because Paul sang like him), Elvis, MJ, Jimi, David Bowie, and Madge, P incorporated a style all in2 his own, especially during that era (1983-1986). Musically speaking, he took the concepts of Jimi, Sly, Lennon-McCartney, JB, and ingeniuosly incorporated his style along with his father's jazz background and the sights and scenes of his hometown Minneapolis (his days with Grand Central jamming w/ Flyte Tyme). In truth, if one had 2 argue who P emulated musically, it was Miles Davis, 2 whom P became close with from 1985 until Miles' death in '91. Miles was 2 P what Sammy Davis, Jr was 2 MJ in terms of musical and entertaining vision was concerned. As far as influence, P has acknowledged LR, as well as Lennon, Miles especially, Joni, Jimi, Sly (which coincides with his close relationship w/ Larry Graham as they're both JWs), JB (which coincided with P using JB's original sax sideman Maceo Parker in his band off and on for the past ten years) as important musical influences. While his "bucket of chicken and a Cadillac" mention was in somewhat poor taste, his intention was explaining how several artists, especially African-American were treated at that time where many were ripped-off from their royalties.

That crack your smoking must be really good. Why don't you say that RnB music wold have come to a halt if MJ was not born (LOL).
Prince has said numerous times he got into music because his Dad was a musician/ Seems to me since he had hit rnb records before Thriller and these records always contained some pop/rock recording he was already motivated without MJ success. Record companies always want artist to sell the maximum amount of music possible so it seems P would have made an attempt to cross over with or without MJ success. ----- HatrinaHaterwitz said: errant said: this is a really disappointing thread. everyone sitting around waiting for the fireworks to start and it's not happening.
